I took my second trip to Puerto Viejo this past weekend. It’s near the Panamanian border on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. We have some good friends who live there, Roberto and Colin.

Colin and I provide each other with just enough North American company to keep us going. It’s helps to have someone to gossip with about politics and the life we left behind.

These guys are in the process of building a new house. It was really fun to see the progress in person. It’s going up so quickly! Here is a link to their photo album. You should really check it out.

What I like most about the house is that it really gives you the feeling that you’re living outdoors. That’s great in an area of such beauty. They are in front of the beach and are surrounded by lush, tropical vegetation.

Ultimately, they plan on building a bunch of guest houses. The design they have come up with so far is pretty cool. Knowing them it won’t be long before that project is under way!
